Luke 1:26-28 (NLT)
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, 27 to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David.
28 Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favoured woman! The Lord is with you!” [1]

Some manuscripts add, Blessed are you among women.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Although this is the seventh scene in this “Births foretold” series of Bible cartoons, it is actually a very old Bible Cartoon. I started the Bible Cartoons Project in 2008 & this particular cartoon is the 13th one I drew. I think you can see the simplicity of my early design style in it, especially compared to the more complex lighting & contents of the latest ones. Compare this scene with the next one (Luke 01 – The Nativity – Births foretold – Scene 08 – Jesus birth foretold) & you’ll see what I mean. Nevertheless I have decided to keep this early cartoon in this Births Foretold series, rather than re-drawing it.
